Your body is constantly filtering out irritants and impurities from the air to prevent infections and other problems. In some cases, though, your body over-reacts to specific types of impurities, such as dust and pollen. The body releases substances that aim to fend off the substance, causing inflammation, runny nose, coughing, and other symptoms that are categorized as “allergies.”
It is normal to have temporary symptoms when you are exposed to substances that offend your nasal passages and respiratory system. These situations typically do not require treatment. When allergies interfere with your quality of life, such as during springtime, you may have chronic allergies. Treatments aim to help your body be less reactive to the offending substance so that you have fewer symptoms.
Allergies can be linked to plants, foods, drugs, and many other sources.
The entire staff and Dr. Ayala are always very warm and helpful. I highly recommend Ayala ENT for any allergy and sinus issues. The result have been rapid and life changing.
The first step in your allergy treatments is to determine what substances are causing the reaction. As an ENT specialist, Dr. Ayala offers:
Allergy eye drops are recommended for patients who experience itching and redness of the eyes due to allergic reactions. The drops reduce the histamines that are released by the body in response to allergens.
Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps your body build immunity to substances that trigger your allergies. The allergy shots contain a small amount of the substance, and your body learns to better manage the presence of the substance. This procedure can greatly reduce the severity and frequency of your allergic reactions.
After your consultation with Dr. Ayala, we discuss the cost of your allergy treatments, including any diagnostic testing that is recommended. For your convenience, we accept payment via Prosper® and CareCredit® healthcare financing.
